Needle lump

So my 1 year old went and had his 1 year immunisations on the 13th of July and I know that it's common to get a lump at the site of injection but is it normal that my baby still has a lump and almost a bruise mark on his leg where he had his injection 15 days after? Is this worth getting it checked out? Thankyou

Yes it’s normal, as long as it doesn’t look infected. Just leave it alone and don’t let him scratch it.

Yes totally normal. My sons routine vac sites all had hard lump areas.
When he had to have antibiotics injected into his legs he had very large hard lumps that lasted for about 3/4 weeks and they weren’t worried about that either :)
